PREFACE. 



The requirements of the medical examining boards of this 
country seem to imply that a practical knowledge of ope- 
rative surgery should form an essential part of the edu- 
cation of every surgeon, and that henceforth operative 
dexterity should be acquired by practice on the dead body. 

For this reason, the performance of surgical operations 
on the subject has been introduced at most of our medical 
schools ; and demonstrators have been appointed to 
superintend and direct the studies of gentlemen in that 
department. 

The design of the present Manual is to give to students 
a practical guide to the performance of operations on the 
dead body, and to lighten the labours of teachers, by 
enabling them to dispense with much oral instruction, and 
to substitute the same kind of supervision that is ordinarily 
exercised in the study of practical anatomy. 

Only those operative measures are here treated of, which 

can be advantageously practised on the dead body; and 

these are arranged, as far as possible, in the order in which 

▲ 3 



\^ PREFACE. 

they should be performed, — an order rendered necessary in 
this country by the scarcity of anatomical subjects. 

The Woodcuts which are here and there introduced in 
the following pages were, with one or two exceptions, traced 
from photographs taken from the dead body, during the 
actual performance of the operations which they represent. 

For the original photographs, as well as for their re- 
production upon wood, the author is indebted to the 
artistic skill of Mr. Godart, 

Bedford Row, August 31st, 1859.

INTRODUCTION. 



The Selection of a Subject. — Instraments. — Assistant. — A Table of 

Operations. 

It rarely happens that the student of operative surgery in 
this country has a choice of bodies for his purpose ; to 
those who have such an opportunity, we would recommend 
the selection of a male subject with a moderate amount of 
fat about it. An emaciated body gives too low an idea 
of the difficulties of ligaturing arteries on the living; 
while its deficiency of subcutaneous tissue renders it diffi- 
cult to provide sufficient material for the formation of 
stumps in the practice of amputations. The subject should 
be placed on a high and narrow table, such as dissecting- 
rooms are generally furnished with. 

To save subsequent trouble, the operator should at once 
provide himself with those instruments which will suffice 
for the performance of all the ordinary operations : these 
instruments^ with others^ are contained in the regulation

cases supplied to surgeons in Her Majesty's service ; an old 
case of this description will be found most serviceable, as in 
it the knives will have been worn down by successive sharp - 
enings ; generally speaking, their blades are originally too 
wide for some of the more difficult amputations. The ser- 
vices of an assistant should be procured if possible ; and 
we venture here to remind those who may officiate in that 
capacity, that there is much to be learnt of the important 
duties of their post from operations even on the dead body. 
For the use of those who have but one subject at their 
disposal, we append a table of operations that may all be 
practised on a single body. This list, which can be modi- 
fied at the discretion of the operator, will be found to con- 
tain most of the operations in common use on the living, 
and may serve to guide some in the economical use of 
their materiaL

We would here, once for all state, that throughout the 
following pages, wherever distances on the body are ex- 
pressed by inches, it is presupposed that the subject is an 
adult, and of average size and proportions. Again, when- 
ever the expressions left-hand side or right-hand side are 
employed, they always refer to the left, or right-hand side 
of the body which is being operated upon.

In figure 5, the knife, whicli in this case is alvrajs a 
large one, is held in the full grasp of the hand ; it is thas 
used in circular amputations, and in certiun other instances 
to which we shall hereafter have occasion to refer. 

Fig. 6. 



Sutures are of various kinds, and are generally classified 
as^l) interrupted; (2) unuiterrupted ; (3) twisted ; and 
(4) quilled. The above-named modifications owe their 
existence to the varying necessities of wounds, as the latter 
occur in one or another part of the body. Thus the (1) 
interrupted is used for wounds where absolute apposition of 
every portion of their surface is either undesirable or unne- 
cessary ; as in stumps after the removal of limbs ; in the 
wounds left by the removal of tumours, or amputation of 
the breast, 

(2.) The uninterrupted or continuous best secures the 



8 QUILLED suture; [chap. n. 

To apply the ticisted suture, hare-lip pins, silk, or twine, 
and the cutting wire pliers, are necessary,* The pins mnst 
be carefully passed in, about half an inch from one edge of 
the wound ; they must traverse it, and appear at the same 
distance beyond its opposite margin. 

When the requisite number of pins have been introdaeed, 
a piece of silk or twine, about two feet long, is taken and 
twisted over each in the form of the figure 8, so that the 
point of crossing of the thread lies over the line of contact of 
the edges of the wound. The thread may be secured by 
tying its opposite ends together, and the pin may be cut 
80 as to leave about half an inch projecting at either end, 
beyond the thread. 

The quilled suture is best applied with a strong curved 
needle, fixed in a handle, and having an eye near its 
point. This should be threaded with a double thread, and 
iiaving been passed through the wound from side to side, 
the looped end of the ligature is detached from the needle's 
eye, and held with the left hand, while the needle is with- 
drawn. 

The needle should pierce, the skin an inch from the 
edge of the wound, should traverse the deep parts, and 
emerge at the same distance from its opposite margin. 
When withdrawn, there will be a double thread remaining 
in the wound having a loop at one extremity and two free 
ends at the opposite. Through the loop or loops, if more 
than one suture be used, a piece of gum catheter should 
be passed and the thread drawn tight over it, while the 
opposite ends are tied firmly over a similar piece of 
catheter. 

To maintain perfect apposition in the more superficial 

• This suture is best applied to the wound in the face, left after the re- 
moval of the upper jaw.

CATHETERISM OP NASAL DUCT. [chap. n.

^'ith an obstrnction^ which is generally felt after it has turned 
rather more than a quarter of a circle. On turning the 
handle more forcibly the point will be felt to slip over this, 
the lower margin of the cartilaginous extremity of the 
Eustachian tube. The catheter should now be pushed 
onwards, outwards, and upwards very gently, until the 
point is fairly in the cartilaginous extremity of the tube. 
Its arrival at its proper destination may be ascertained by 
rotation being now no longer possible, and by the ring 
(fig. 6 a) at the bottom of the catheter being directed to- 
wards the opposite angle of the mouth. 
Figure 7 represents the catheter in position. 

Sand shows the position of the orifice of the 
Eustachian tube. 
Catheterisation of the nasal duct from below. 
— The lower orifice of the lacrymal duct may 
be found at the anterior extremity of the in- 
ferior turbinate bone, beneath its overhang- 
ing border on the outer wall of the inferior 
meatus of the nose (fig. 7). 

This proceeding may be effected with such 
an instrument as is delineated in the adjoin- 
ing woodcut, or a soft silver probe may be 
bent to the same shape (fig. 8).* 

The head being in the same position as in 
the preceding operation, the catheter may be 
introduced with its concavity looking up- 
wards, and its point directed to the lowest 
part of the outer wall of the nostril. Being 
in contact with the outer wall of the meatus, 
it should be gently passed upwards with a 
slight rotatory movement of its point, in an

16 ARTIFICIAL ANUS. [chap. n. 

has become one of general operative surgery, and since it 
can be advantageously practised on the dead body, we 
shall describe the method of its performance, adopting Mr. 
Dixon's modification of the new operation. A curved pair 
of scissors, a blunt hook, forceps, and a spring-wire specu- 
lum, are necessary for its performance. Having inserted 
the spring speculum between the lids, make a circular 
division of the conjunctiva with the scissors, about a quarter 
of an inch behind the cornea. Raise the external rectus 
muscle, and cut it across; an assistant should seize the 
divided tendon and draw the eye inwards *, ** sliding one 
blade of the scissors beneath the superior rectus and oblique 
muscles, they are divided, and then the inferior rectus ; the 
optic nerve is next snipped through, and the globe starts 
forwards. Two or three strokes of the scissors divide the 
internal rectus, vessels and bands of areolar tissue, and the 
operation is complete." 

Artificial anus. — The large intestine presents three 
points where, without injury to the peritoneal sac, it can 
be opened to give exit to its contents in cases of intestinal 
obstruction. An artificial anus may be formed in the 
coecum or ascending colon; but the most favourable situa- 
tion for this aperture is in the left lumbar region over the 
descending colon. The portion of the intestine here within 
reach, is limited above by the lower border of the kidney, 
and below by the crest of the ilium ; at this point the gut 
lies upon the aponeurosis of the transversalis muscle, to the 
outer side of the quadratus lumborum, and behind the peri- 
toneal sac and mass of the small intestines. 

The subject being turned over on its face, the loins may 
be rendered prominent by placing a block or two beneath 
the belly. Retractors, scalpel, forceps, sutures, and direc- 
tor, are required. 

* Dixon, Diseases of the Eye, page 393, 2iid edition. 



CHAP. nO AMUSSAT'S OPERATION. 17 

Amussat^s operation, — A transverse incision sl^ould be 
made an inch above the posterior part of the crest of the 
ilium, beginning at the external border of the erector spinas, 
and extending outwards for three or four inches ; the skin 
and superficial fascia being divided, the latissimus dorsi, 
and perhaps a portion of the external oblique muscle, will 
come into view : these, together with the fascia of the in- 
ternal oblique and transversalis, should be divided on the 
director, and the loose subperitoneal tissue will be reached ; 
in this, search for the intestine with the point of the direc- 
tor, and having found it, draw it out of the wound to a 
small extent; its edges being transfixed by sutures and 
united to the integuments, it may be opened at its most 
prominent part, and the operation will be complete. 

TJie ascending colon may be exposed by an incision made 
in the right loin, in the same manner as described above. 
To open the cwcum, a w^dund should be made in the abdo- 
minal wall about three inches in extent, commencing an 
inch above the right anterior superior spine of the ilium, 
and extending downwards in the direction of Poupart's 
ligament. 



18 DIVISION OF TENDONS. [chap, m. 



CHAP. in. 

TENOTOMY. 

Tenotomy. — General Remarks. — Operation for. Strabismus. — ^Division of the 
Stemo Mastoid, Tibialis Anticas, Hamnstring Tendons, Tendo Acbillis, 
Tiabilis Posticus. 

Tenotomy is an operation which in all practicable cases 
must be performed subcutaneously ; it is with this object 
that a series of knives have been invented^ allowing of the 
division of tendons with but little exposure of the wound 
to the external air. 

The only instruments required for the performance of the 
following operations, with the exception of that for strabis- 
mus, are a sharp-pointed and a blunt-pointed tenotomy knife. 
The former is used for. perforating the skin over tendons, 
and for dividing tendons themselves where there are no 
important parts within reach of injury. This knife is held 
as a pen * ; it should penetrate the skin on the flat, that is 
with the flat of the blade parallel to the line of the tendon. 
When in contact with the tendon, its edge should be turned 
at right angles to the former, and in this position the tendon 
should be divided. The blunt- pointed knife is for dividing 
tendons, such as those of the tibial muscles, where there 
are important parts in the neighbourhood which are ex- 
posed to injury ; it is held in the haiid and used in the 
same manner as the sharp-pointed knife. 

In dividing a tendon, the end of the thumb should be 

♦ Page 4, fig. 1. 



CHAP, m.] OPERATION FOR STRABISMUS. 19 

placed over it while the knife is beneath it. In this manner 
the operator can ascertain when the division of the tendon 
is nearly completed, and can thus exercise greater care to 
guard the skin from injury as the knife approaches the sur- 
face. 

The duties of an assistant in this operation are, firstly, 
to put the tendon on the stretch, to enable the operator to 
ascertain its exact position ; secondly, to relax it, allowing 
of the insertion and adjustment of the knife ; thirdly, to 
tighten the tendon whjle the operator divides it. The com- 
pletion of the section can be ascertained by the sudden 
relaxation of the parts, by the creaking of the tendinous 
fibres under the knife, and often by the obvious gap 
remaining in the course of the tendon from the retraction 
of its ends. 

The following operations should be undertaken while the 
body is yet fresh, either before or immediately after the 
operations on the arteries. 

Division of the internal rectus muscle of the eye. — We 
have selected this muscle for the description of the opera- 
tion for strabismus, as its division represents the proceeding 
usually required in that affection. 

A spring-wire speculum, a pair of blunt-pointed small 
scissors, two pair of forceps, the one broad-pointed for 
holding the eye, the other being ordinary dissecting 
forceps, and a blunt hook, comprise the list of instruments 
necessary for the operation. 

The operator should stand facing the subject, and the 
assistant behind the head, facing the operator. Having 
introduced the wire speculum between the lids, the assist- 
ant should, with the broad-pointed forceps, grasp a fold of 
the conjunctiva on the outer aspect of the eye and rotate 
the ball outwards so as to expose the inner part of the 
white of the eye. Let the operator now pinch up with the 

c 2 



20 OPERATION FOR STRABISMUS. [chap. hi. 

forceps the conjunctiva, about one-third of an inch to the 
inner side of the cornea, and below the situation of the 
tendon of the inner rectus muscle; this fold of con- 
junctiva should be divided to the extent of about a quarter 
of an inch, in a direction radiating from the circumference 
of the cornea, and parallel with the lower border of the 
rectus. Having cut through the subconjunctival tissue 
in the same direction, pass the blunt hook into the wound, 
gliding its extremity on the eyeball, downwards, back- 
wards, and lastly upwards, so as to pass beneath the lower 
border of the tendon of the rectus. Lift the tendon up- 
wards, away from the ball of the eye, and pass the 
scissors down the hook into the wound, and divide the 
tendon beneath the conjunctiva by a series of snips, cutting 
from below upwards. The hook may be again inserted, 
and any remaining fibres caught up and divided in a 
similar manner. 

The difficulty in this operation is to pass the point of the 
hook beneath the lower border of the muscle ; this may 
be obviated by passing the hook some distance backwards 
before attempting to catch the tendon. 

The foregoing proceeding may be applied to any of the 
recti muscles of the eye; the incision in the conjunctiva 
being made in each case, in a direction radiating from the 
circumference of the cornea. 

Division of the stemo mastoid, — This operation is under- 
taken for the cure of certain cases of wry neck, and is 
generally put in practice on the lower third of the muscle, 
which at this part is covered by the skin, platysma, cervi- 
cal fasciae, and its own sheath ; it is crossed obliquely from 
within outwards and above downwards by the external 
jugular vein, though generally at a point higher in the 
neck than that selected for its division. The operation 
may be performed in two ways; for the first method, a

the posterior surface of the muscle, and not allow it to 
include any of the deeper structures. 

Division of the tendon of the tibialis anticus. — The spot 
which is usually selected for division of this tendon for club 
foot, is just in front of the ankle joint where the tendon is 
most prominent. Here it lies on the tibia, in the inner- 
most of the sheaths in front of the ankle, having the an- 
terior tibial artery to its outer side but separated from it 
by the extensor proprius pollicis. 

The foot teing abducted and extended by an assistant, 
the operator, standing on the opposite side of the. leg to 
that of the tendon which he wishes to divide, and facing 
the patient for the muscle of the right side *, should feel 
for the prominence of the tendon with the forefinger of the 
left hand ; keeping his finger on this spot, he should make 
an incision with the sharp-pointed knife, straight down to 
the inner side of the tendon, the blade of the scalpel being 
parallel to the latter; let him now introduce the blunt- 
pointed knife, and having passed it on the flat beneath the 
tendon, let him turn its edge and divide the tendon at a 
right angle, while the assistant puts the parts on the 
stretch. The usual precautions must be adopted for 
guarding the integuments from injury. 

The body being turned on its face, the remainder of the 
operations enumerated at the commencement of this chapter 
can be performed. 

Section of the hamstring tendons, — The biceps may be 
divided where it lies in the outer fold of the popliteal 
space, external to and overlapping the peroneal nerve. 
The operator should stand on the same side of the limb as 
the tendon which he is about to divide, and with his back. 

♦ His back being towards the body in operating on the muscle of the 
opposite side.

parts ; the assistant in the meantime putting the foot in a 
position of flexion to stretch the tendon. 

It is customary with some operators to introduce the 
scalpel on the dorsal surface of this tendon^ and this is best 
effected by pinching up the skin on the back of the heel, 
while the parts are relaxed, and subsequently cutting 
from the superficial towards the deeper aspect of the 
limb. 

Division of the tibialis posticus. — The tendon of this 
muscle is found behind the inner ankle, in a groove on the 
tibia, and nearer to the inner malleolus than the other 
tendons ; it is separated from the posterior tibial artery and 
nerve, which lie behind it, or nefirer to the os calcis, by the 
flexor longus digitorum. The point usually selected for its 
division is at a spot about an inch and a half above the 
inner malleolus, immediately behind which point of bone 
the tendon is found. The foot being flexed and placed 
in a position of forced abduction, the line of the tendon 
should be felt for, and having been determined, the forefinger 
of the left hand should be placed on the spot, and retained 
there during the operation. The operator, standing on the 
opposite side of the leg to that of the tendon, should intro- 
duce the sharp-pointed tenotomy knife to its inner side, and 
thrust it quite down to the bone ; having substituted a 
blunt-pointed knife, the tendon may be divided from within 
outwards, taking care not to pass over it, as it lies in its 
groove on the bone.

CHAP. IV. 

LIGATURE OF ARTERIES. 

General Rales for the Ligature of Arteries. — Instruments required and their 
respective use. — Ligature of Arteries of Upper JExtremity and Head and 
Neck : radial, ulnar, brachial, axillary, subclavian, innominate, common 
carotid, external carotid, internal carotid, lingual, facial, temporal. — Ar- 
teries of Abdomen and Lower Extremity : common iliac, internal iliac, 
external iliac, femoral, anterior tibial, posterior tibial, peroneal, popliteal. 

To expose the large vessels of the body with certainty, it 
is necessary not only to know their relational anatomy as 
regards the parts with which they are in immediate 
contact; but accurately to ascertain their position, and the 
direction of their course with respect to the external con- 
formation and outline of the parts of the body in which 
they are found. With this object it is usual to take as 
guides and landmarks to the position of subjacent vessels, 
either the outline of some muscle, or imaginary lines drawn 
from one point to another. In all cases where the external 
conformation of the limb admits of it, we have chosen pro- 
minent points of bone as landmarks ; as these are more 
constant in their relative positions, and more easily disco- 
vered than the outlines of muscles, which latter are too 
liable to be obscured by fat, or rendered indistinct from 
other causes. 

The subject being placed on its back on a narrow table, 
the operator may prepare to perform the ligature of all the 
principal arteries of the body. He will require a scalpel. 



26 THE USE OF THE KNIFE. [chap. iv. 

a pair of dissecting forceps, a grooved steel director, and an 
aneurism needle. The scalpel should be from two to three 
inches in length in the blade. The groove in the director 
should run quite to its extremity, and leave no cul de sac in 
which the point of the knife can catch. 

As there are certain general rules which must be 
followed in attempting the ligature of all arteries, we 
propose to notice them here, to avoid subsequent repe- 
tition. 

The knife is for cutting, and for this alone, it should not 
be used for scraping or scratching at the sheath of a vessel ; 
it had best be laid aside so soon as the arterv comes into 
view. When the direction and length of incision have 
been determined, the integuments should be slightly- 
stretched by the middle finger and thumb of the left 
hand, placed on either side of the line of incision. The 
scalpel should be held as a pen in writing (fig. 1, page 4), 
and on its first contact with the skin should be held at the 
same inclination to the surface as a pen ; as the integuments 
.are divided, its position should gradually become vertical, 
so that on the completion of the incision it may be perpen- 
dicular to the surface. When practicable the first incision 
is always made immediately over and parallel to the course 
of the vessel to be tied : it should not divide more than the 
integuments. Each successive cut ought to be of precisely 
the same extent as the preceding. 

The use of the forceps is obvious, but it may be well to 
remark that they are not to be applied directly to the artery 
itself, or to any large nerve or vessel that may be exposed 
during the operation. 

The steel director is used for dividing fasciae upon, for se- 
parating muscular interspaces, and for detaching the artery 
from its sheath ; it is of great service in all those cases in 
which a silver knife is used by many operators. In ex- 



CHAP. IV.] THE USE OF THE DIRECTOR. 27 

posing a vessel, as a general rule, intervening fasciaa are 
divided on the director*, which is inserted through a small 
hole, made by pinching up the parts with the forceps, and 
cutting with the blade of the knife on the flat. Muscular 
interspaoes, if large, are most conveniently separated with 
the forefingers, contiguous tendons with the point of the 
director. 

To free the vessel from its sheath, a small hole must be 
made in the latter, as in opening a fdscia; the margins 
of this aperture being alternately seized with the forceps, 
the point of the director should be insinuated between 
them and the coats of the vessel. This separation ought 
to include the whole circumference of the artery, but as 
little as possible of its length. 

An aneurism needle, with a very large curve, will be 
found most convenient on the dead body ; besides its ob- 
vious purpose, it may, in its passage round the vessel, 
separate any remaining adhesion between this and its 
sheath. In passing the ligature, the point of the needle 
is generally inserted between the vessel and any neigh- 
bouring structure there may be a risk of including in the 
ligature. Having withdrawn the needle and left the liga- 
ture in position, a single knot should first be formed, and 
the ends of the silk be grasped by the thumbs and fore- 
fingers passed down as near to the vessel as possible ; the 
knot may now be drawn tight, and secured by a second, 
tied over it. It is essential to pass the fingers down to the 
vessel before tightening the ligature, in order to avoid 
disturbing its connections, and also the more accurately to 
appreciate the amount of force applied. 

We shall describe the operations for ligature of the various 
arteries in the order in which they should be practised on 

♦ Fig. 4, page 5. 



28 LIGATURE OF THE RADIAL. [chap. iv. 

the subject, and shall omit those which rarely, if ever, come 
under our notice on the living body. 

Tlie radial artery. — The course of this vessel will be suf- 
ficiently accurately indicated, by a line drawn from midway 
between the condyles of the humerus to a point, half an inch 
internal to the styloid process of the radius at the wrist. In 
the upper third of its course, it lies between and is some- 
w^hat overlapped by the supinator longus on the outer side, 
and the pronator 'teres on the inner side ; but lower down 
in the forearm it is found more superficially, between the 
tendons of the flexor carpis radialis on the inner, and 
the supinator longus on the outer side. In the whole 
of its course under consideration, this vessel is found in 
the outermost intermuscular space of the front of the fore- 
arm, and is covered by nothing but the integuments and 
deep fascia, or rather it is only necessary to divide these to 
expose the artery. 

A ligature may be applied to this vessel in any part of 
its course: we propose to tie it in its lower and upper 
thirds. 

Lower third. — An incision should be made in the direc- 
tion of the line above indicated, commencing three inches 
above the wrist, and extending downwards for two inches. 
This should fall between the tendons of the flexor carpi 
radialis and the supinator longus; immediately beneath 
the integuments the superficial radial vein is usually found. 

Pushing this aside, divide the deep fascia on the director, 
and the artery will come into view, surrounded by its venae 
comites and an imperfect sheath, both of which must be 
separated with the point of the director, and the ligature 
passed. 

Upper third. — To tie the artery in its upper third, make 
an incision three inches long in the course of the vessel, 
commencing two inches below the bend of the elbow and 



CHAP. IV.] LIGATURE OF THE UIAAR. 29 

running towards the wrist, search for the most external 
white line in the deep fascia; this marks the intermuscular 
space in which lies the artery. Having opened the fascia 
at this spot, use the finger or the director to separate the 
muscles, clear the artery from its connections, and apply 
the ligature from witliout inwards, to avoid the possibility 
of including the radial nerve. 

The ulnar artery y in the part of its course with which 
we are concerned, extends with a slight curve from the 
middle of the bend of the elbow to the radial side of the 
pisiform bone. In the first part of its course it runs 
obliquely ; here it passes beneath the muscles coming from 
the inner condyle, and above the flexor profundus. In the 
lower two thirds of the forearm, it is found on the latter 
muscle, and overlapped by the flexor carpi ulnaris; its 
nerve joins it about the middle of the arm, and continues 
with it on the ulnar side as far as the wrist Practically, 
this artery can only be tied in the lower two thirds of its 
course ; to expose it between the flexor sublimis and flexor 
profundus digitorum, in the upper part of the forearm, 
would necessitate a most unwarrantable division of soft 
parts. It must be approached through the innermost 
intermuscular space of the front of the forearm, that is 
between the flexor carpi ulnaris and flexor sublimis digi- 
torum. 

To expose the artery in its lower thirds an incision should 
be made in the line of the course of the vessel, commencing 
three inches above the wrist, immediately external to the 
tendon of the flexor carpi ulnaris, and extending down- 
wards parallel to that tendon for rather more than two 
inches ; care should be taken to avoid injuring the super- 
ficial ulnar vein. By dividing the muscular fascia, the 
border of the tendon of the flexor carpi ulnaris will come 
into view, beneath which the artery lies. The vessel being 



so LIGATURE OF THE BRACHUL. [chap. iv. 

cleared, the aneurism needle should be passed from its ulnar 
to its radial side, to avoid the chance of including the ulnar 
nerve in the ligature. The operation is much facilitated 
by bending the wrist directly the above-mentioned tendon 
comes into view, as this permits the tendon to be drawn 
inwards without diflBculty. 

Ulnar artery with middle third. — Here the artery lies 
more- deeply, and is approached by making an incision two 
or three inches long, to the radial side of the inner margin 
of the forearm, in the direction of the vessel : beneath this 
spot the white line which marks the separation between the 
flexor carpi ulnaris and flexor sublimis must be sought, 
and here the muscular fascia must be divided. After 
separating these muscles, the ulnar nerve will probably 
first come into view ; and to its radial side, overlapped by 
the flexor sublimis, will be found the artery. 

The brachial arf^r^y, ex tending from the lower border of the 
tendon of the teres major to the bend of the elbow, is covered, 
except at the last-mentioned place, only by the integuments 
and deep fascia ; at the elbow it has in addition a covering 
from the tendon of the biceps, generally termed the semi- 
lunar fascia. A line, drawn from the inner border of the 
coraco brachialis to the middle of the bend of the elbow, 
would indicate its course ; or the inner border of the 
biceps muscle sufficiently nearly represents it. The vessel 
lies for some distance on the triceps, and for a short space, 
just above the elbow on the brachialis anticus ; to its outer 
side in the upper third of the arm, is the coraco brachialis, 
and below this point the biceps. Near the commencement 
of the artery, the median nerve crosses it in front, and runs 
on its inner side to the bend of the elbow. It is worthy 
of remark that the basilic vein lies over the vessel in the 
whole of its course ; it may be found either in the sub- 
cutaneous tissue, or beneath the deep fascia. We pro- 



32 COUESE OF THE AXILLAET [chap. iv. 

major muscle ; it presents two points at which a hgature can 
be applied,— viz., immediately below the clavicle, and at the 
lower part of the axilla. It is covered in its -whole course 
by the pectoralis major, is crossed about its middle by the 
pectoralis minor, has the axillary vein to its thoracic side 
and in front of it, with the brachial plexus at first above, 
and subsequently surrounding it more or less. 

Below the clavicle the vessel is covered by the integu- 
ments, platysma, pectoralis major, and deep fascia, the fascia 
of the pectoral muscle, and the costo-coracoid membrane ; 
it lies deeply, between the brachial plexus above, and the 
axillary vein below ; is crossed from above downwards by 
the two anterior thoracic nerves, and obliquely from with- 
out inwards by the cephalic vein ; between it and the first 
intercostal space runs the long thoracic nerve. In the 
lower part of the axilla the artery is generally covered by 
the confluence of the basilic vein with the venae comites, 
and has on its inner side the ulnar and two internal cuta- 
neous nerves, and often ope root of the median. On its 
outer or acromial side is the coraco brachialis, the external 
cutaneous nerve, and sometimes the outer root of the me- 
dian nerve. Occasionally the two roots of the median 
unite in front of the artery at this spot From what is 
stated above, it is evident that the ligature of the axillary 
trunk is no easy task : it may be well to mention that in the 
succeeding operations, the knife should be used as little as 
possible, the point of the director being put in requisition 
for the separation of the deeper parts. 

Ligature in the lower part of the axilla. — The arm should 
be raised above the head, so as to expose the cavity of the 
axilla, and an incision made along the inner border of the 
coraco brachialis, in the direction of that muscle. The ax- 
illary and deep fasci38 should he divided on the director, and 
the knife laid aside : the artery should now be sought and

attachment, and lay bare the deep muscular fascia ; open it 
and search for the vessel just behind the posterior border 
of the fibula. The ligature may be passed from either side, 
as there is no accompanying nerve. 

The subject being turned over on its face, the operator 
should turn his attention to the popliteal artery. 

This vessel, entering the space of the same name through 
the tendon of the adductor magnus, ends at the lower 
border of the popliteus. It does not pursue its course 
parallel with the long axis of the limb, but inclines sliglitly 
from within outwards until it ends exactly in the middle 
line of the popliteal space. Its course is expressed by a 
line drawn to the centre of the popliteal space, from a 
point four inches higher up the limb -and an inch to the 
inner side of the middle line. The artery lies on the back 
of the femur, the posterior ligament of the knee joint, and 
the popliteus muscle successively ; to its outer side and par- 
tially overlapping it is the popliteal vein, and still more 
external the popliteal nerve. The wound for exposing the 
vessel should be nearly four inches long, and should be 
slightly oblique in its direction from within outwards, 
terminating midway between the condyles of the femur. 
Care should be taken in making the first incision not 
to injure the posterior saphena vein. On dividing the 
integuments and fascia, the popliteal nerve will generally 
be seen ; it should be drawn to the outer side, and the 
vessel sought for to its inner side, where it will be found 
lying deep in the popliteal space with its vein external 
to it. Separate the artery and vein, and pass the ligature 
from without inwards.

Amputations are generally classed as those of continuity, 
or amputations proper, and those of contiguity, or dis- 
articulations. The object in view in all methods of ampu- 
tation is the same, — namely, after the removal of the part, 
to secure a suitable and sufficient covering for the end of 
the bone, to avoid adhesion between the latter and the 
cicatrix of the integument ; to divide the large nerves and 
blood-vessels transversely, and to leave their cut ends in a 
part of the stump little exposed to pressure. Stumps are 
either formed of integuments alone *, or of muscular tissue

external in position, and care should be taken to include the 
brachial vessels in the posterior or short flap. 

Amputation of the arm at the shoulder-joint. — The plans 
adopted for disarticulating the humerus at this joint are 
very numerous, though many only differ from each other 
in inessential particulars. We shall only describe (a) the 
operation by an upper and a lower flap ; and (6) that by an 
anterior and posterior flap. 

(a) The body, being raised by two or tliree blocks placed 
beneath the shoulders, should be brought towards the edge 
of the table, the operator should stand outside the limb, 
and the assistant behind the shoulder. In this as in all 
operations for disarticulation at the shoulder-joint, an am- 
putating knife of moderate dimensions will be found more 
commodious than the formidable weapon generally figured 
in books. The operator grasping the deltoid in his left 
hand, and raising it, should thrust his knife beneath it, 
transfixing the limb just below the acromion, and on its 
upper and out^r aspect ; the knife should graze the 
neck of the humerus, and in cutting its way out below 
should form a flap with a rounded border, about four 
inches in length ; this the assistant raises and retracts. 
The head of the bone being now exposed, the heel of the 
knife should be laid on the upper aspect of the anatomical 
neck, and the muscles inserted into the greater tuberosity 
divided, while the bone is rotated inwards ; the joint being 
opened on its upper and outer aspect, the subscapularis 
should be divided, the knife passed behind the neck of the 
bone, and with one sweep be made to cut its way out in 
the axilla, forming an inferior flap similar to the first. In 
the living body the axillary artery should be controlled by 
pressure made against the first rib just external to the 
scalenus anticus ; after the operation, its divided end will 
be found near the inner angle of junction between the 



88 REMOVAL OF THE BREAST. [chap. vi. 

more firmly in the second or third position (p. 4). The ope- 
rator should stand on the same side of the body as that of the 
breast to be removed, the corresponding arm of the subject 
being carried out from the side ; he should make two semi- 
elliptical incisions, having their long axes parallel with that 
of the ribs, and including between them, the nipple and a suf- 
ficiency of skin to allow of the removal of the gland through 
the wound. These incisions should meet one another beyond 
the axillary and sternal borders of the breast respectively. 
For the right breast the upper incision should be first made, 
commencing from the axilla; it should extend pretty deeply 
into the subcutaneous fat; it should not cut quite vertically 
through the skin, but rather in an upward direction, so as 
to pass over the convex surface of the breast without 
injuring the glandular structure. The lower incision 
should next be made from the sternum towards the axilla, 
and this also should be adapted somewhat to the convexity 
of the breast. While the assistant grasps the gland and 
draws it upwards, the operator should seize the skin at the 
lower edge of the wound and dissect it off the breast until 
the lower border of the gland comes into view ; lifting up 
this and dissecting between it and the pectoral muscle, 
he must completely undermine the gland. Taking the 
breast into his own hand, and drawing it downwards while 
the assistant raises the upper edge of the wound, the 
operator should dissect away the coverings from the upper 
part of the gland until he reaches its upper boundary, 
when the separation of the breast will be complete, and the 
operation concluded.

metatarsal bone of the little toe (fig. 22). The articulation 
between the calcis and cuboid is situated about half an inch 
in front of the peroneal tubercle, or it may be said to be 
midway between that point and the prominence of the fifth 
metatarsal bone. 

The joint between the cuboid and fifth metatarsal bone lies 
immediately behind the projecting extremity of the latter.

cut edge of the common integuments of the part. The 
urethra before being sewn to the external skin should be 
split into three divisions, to allow of its orifice being spread 
out. 

Castration. — To remove the testicle, the body should be 
drawn to the edge of the table and the thighs separated, 
while the operator, standing between them and facing the 
abdomen, should grasp the hinder part of the scrotum with 
his left hand, pinching it up, and thus throwing forward 
the testicle and tightening the integuments over it and the 
spermatic cord. Let him now make a nearly vertical inci- 
sion, commencing at the external abdominal ring, extending 
downwards to the lower part of the testicle, and laying bare 
the gland ; forcing the latter forward by tightening the 
grasp of his left hand, with the point of the scalpel the ope- 
rator should dissect off the coverings of the cord at that 
point where it leaves the testicle. When completely iso- 
lated, this part may be included in a strong ligature, or 
held by an instrument for the purpose, to prevent the re- 
traction of its upper end. It should now be divided just 
above the epididymis, its lower end grasped by the ope- 
rator, and the testicle dissected out from above downwards, 
while the scrotum is held aside by an assistant. The su- 
perficial pudic artery is divided in this operation in making 
the first incision, and in the living body generally requires 
ligature ; in the section of the cord the spermatic, deferen- 
tial, and cremasteric vessels are divided. 



118 KESECTION OP THE WRIST JOINT. [chap. vili. 

divide its attachments to the first phalanx^ twisting the 
bone hither and thither to facilitate this process. 

The fifth metacarpal hone may be resected in a similar 
manner by an incision made along its ulnar border. 

Resection of iJie wrist joint, — This operation^ owing to 
the complexity of the articulation on which it is practised, is 
necessarily imperfect in its nature ; that is, the opposed arti- 
cular surfaces cannot be completely removed, and thus the 
most favourable conditions for resection cannot be fulfilled. 

The principal methods of performing the operation are 
three : Istly, by lateral longitudinal incisions running along 
the subcutaneous margins of the radius and ulna respec- 
tively, leaving all the tendons uninjured ; 2ndly, by forming 
a semilunar flap on the back of the joint, dividing all the 
extensor tendons; and, 3rdly, Mr. Butcher's method, in 
which the extensor tendons of the thumb are left intact. 

The first plan is certainly practicable on the dead 
body, but must be quite impossible in many cases on the 
living where the joint requires removal. It is effected 
by making two lateral incisions, one on either side the 
joint, along the subcutaneous borders of the radius and 
ulna respectively ; commencing half an inch in advance of 
each styloid process, and extending up the forearm for 
three inches or more. The soft parts should first be care- 
fully dissected from the ulna until the director can be 
passed around the bone and its groove turned upwards ; this 
being effected the bone may be sawn upon the director 
about an inch above the wrist, the lower fragment grasped 
with the forceps and disarticulated with the point of the 
knife. The radius should now be freed from the tendons 
which surround it, by dissecting chiefly from its outer to 
its inner border; the director being passed around it to 
keep these aside, the bone may be sawn off and separated, 
as in the case of the ulna. 

(2.) A semilunar flap is cut from the back of the wrist. 



122 EXCISION OP THE LOWER JAW. [chap. Tm. 

from within outwards^ over the upper side of the joint: 
now rotate the bone in the opposite direction^ and divide 
the tendon of the subscapularis^ at the same time completing 
the division of the capsule of the joint Pass the director 
round the neck of the bone to protect the soft parts^ and 
saw off the head. 

(2.) The plan which generally goes by the name of Lan- 
genbeck's operation, is that which he made use of during 
the Schleswig Holstein war. Its object is to save the long 
tendon of the biceps, and to avoid the transverse division 
of the fibres of the deltoid. 

A longitudinal incision is made, commencing at the most 
prominent point of the acromion, and extending downwards 
for four or five inches. This should fall just over the 
bicipital groove, and should divide all the structures down 
to the bone ; the tendon of the biceps being disengaged 
from its groove, and, together with the edges of the wound, 
being held aside by the assistant, the operation may be 
completed as in the last discussed method, though it will 
be found that its execution is more difficult. 

(3.) Stromeyer makes use of a semicircular incision, 
commencing at the posterior edge of the acromion, and 
extending downwards and outwards for three inches or 
more, having its concavity directed forwards. Tiie joint 
is thus freely opened on its upper and posterior aspect, the 
tendon of the biceps can be preserved, as in the preceding 
operation, and a dependent aperture is left for the secre- 
tions of the wound. 

Removal of the loicer jaw, — We proceed to describe this 
operation before treating of excision of the superior maxil- 
lary bone, as its performance does not prevent the subse- 
quent execution of that operation. With care, on the 
same face both sides of the inferior maxilla may be re- 
moved as well as both superior maxillary bones. 



128 RESECTION OP THE HIP JOINT. [chap. vm. 

limb. As he does so, the operator should sever all remaining 
ligamentous connections between the bones^ being especially 
careful during the division of the posterior ligament. He 
should now pass the knife around the lower end of the 
femur, just at that part where he wishes to apply the saw; 
with this he may remove a portion of the bone^ cutting 
from its anterior towards its posterior surface, and taking 
care that the section be at right angles to the long axis of 
the shaft. Any connection that this portion of bone may 
still retain after the application of the saw should be divided 
carefully with the scalpel. A thin shell of bone being re- 
moved in the same manner and with the same precautions 
from the extremity of the tibia, the operation will be com- 
plete. The patella is generally removed with the portion 
of the femur that is taken away. No blood-vessels of any 
consequence should be divided. 

Resection of the hip-joint, — The operation which passes by 
this name consists in the removal of the head of the femur: 
it may be well to practise it on the dead body, though on 
the living, the head of the bone is in most cases dislocated by 
disease previous to being subject to operation ; the ordinary 
instruments for resection are suflScient for this proceeding. 

The body being turned over towards the opposite side, 
and the thigh slightly flexed, the operator should place 
himself by the side of the joint he is about to excise, and 
make a curved incision on the outer side of the joint, em- 
bracing in its concavity and passmg close behind, the most 
prominent part of the great trochanter. This incision 
should be from four to five inches in length, and should 
commence between the anterior superior spine of the ilium 
and the top of the trochanter major. The glutei mus- 
cles being divided, and the external rotator muscles, the 
capsule may be opened from behind, while the limb is 
forcibly flexed and adducted by an assistant; this will

being the ligamentum teres within reach, which when cut, 
will allow of the dislocation of the head of the bone. The 
director being passed around its neck, the head may be 
removed with the saw, and the operation will be complete. 
There are various methods of dividing the soft parts 
over this joint; but whatever plan be pursued, it must be 
put in practice over the posterior and outer part of the 
articulation, and the incision, of whatever form, should fall 
between the trochanter and the great sciatic nerve.

TREPHINING THE SKULL, [chap. ix. 



CHAP. IX. 
ON TllE USE OP CERTAIN INSTRUMENTS. 

Application of the Trephine to the Skull.— To long Bones. — Operation 
for the Removal of a Sequestrum.— The Stomach-pump. 

The trephine^ be sides its more obvious purpose for removing 
portions of the bones of the vault of the skull, is used for 
exploring the cancellous extremities of long bones, and for 
exposing the medullary cavity of their shafts. 

Far trephining the skull sl small scalpel, a probe, and an 
elevator are required in addition to the trephine itself. In 
applying this instrument to the cranium on the dead body, 
a precaution should be adopted which cannot always be 
followed on the living — namely, that of selecting a spot for 
its application out of the course of the trunk of the middle 
meningeal artery, and clear of the longitudinal or lateral 
sinuses ; as a general rule, the immediate neighbourhood 
of the sutures should be avoided. A spot having been 
selected, the scalp should be cleanly reflected from the bone 
over the parts, either by a semilunar, crucial, or A -shaped 
incision ; the operator, standing well above the part, should 
project and fix the central pin of the trephine about a lint 
beyond its serrated edge, and apply the instrument to the 
bone with an alternating semirotatory movement, until it 
has cut for itself a groove of sufficient depth to obviate the 
chance of slipping aside : the pin may be now removed 
and the rotatory movement of the instrument continued 
until the diploe is reached ; this may be ascertained by the 



132 OPERATIOX FOR NECROSIS. [chap- ix. 

mcdallarj cavity, is to make use of the trephine, in con- 
junction with Hey's saw, in the following manner. 

Operation for removal of a sequestrum from tfie in" 
terior of the shaft of a bone. — To effect this it is generally 
necessary to remove a portion of the shaft wall of 
the bone. The most subcutaneous part of this being 

exposed by an incision shaped | 1 *, the trephine 

should be applied at either end of the piece of bone 
to be removed, the crown of the instrument being of 
the same diameter as the portion of bone; two circular 
pieces having been thus removed so as to open the 
medullary cavity, a Hey's saw should be used to con- 
nect the opposite and external margins of these holes in 
the bone, and tlie elevator applied to the portion of the 
shaft thus circumscribed : in this way a piece of the shaft 
wall may be removed of sufficient size to expose the me- 
dullary cavity, and to allow of the extraction of a seques- 
trum ; the portion removed will be ) ( sha[)ed. 
Again, the interior of the shaft of a long bone may be 
exposed by making, with Hey's saw, two longitudinal 
incisions parallel with the long axis of the bone, and con- 
necting their extremities at either end by dividing the 
intervening bone with a chisel and mallet, and thus re- 
moving an oblong portion of the shaft wall. 

The stomach-pump, — This instrument, for introducing 
or withdrawing fluids from the cavity of the stomach, 
should always be examined before being used, to ascertain 
its mode of action ; all are not precisely alike in the ar- 
rangement of their valves : it is therefore advisable, first 
to plunge the extremity of the instrument into a basin of 
water, and to work the piston up and down once or twice. 



* The long limb of this incision should be parallel with the long axis of 
the bone. 



CHAP. IX.] USE OP THE STOMACH-PUMP. 133 

nie operator, being provided with an oesophageal tube, 
which must fit the nozzle of the pump, should stand on 
the right-hand side of the body, the head of the latter 
being slightljr thrown back. Having oiled the extremity 
of the tube *, he should place the forefinger of the left hand 
into the right-hand angle of the mouth, and depress the 
tongue, while with the right hand he should introduce the 
tube at the opposite corner of the mouth, pass it straight 
back to the posterior wall of the pharynx, and turning the 
point downwards, should push it on until, by the length of 
tube that has disappeared, it cannot but have entered the 
stomach. The end of the tube should now be attached to 
the pump, and the extremity of the latter plunged into 
water : about a pint having been thrown into the stomach, 
the valve may be reversed, and some of it withdrawn, and 
this proceeding repeated at the discretion of the operator. 
On the living body the reverse action of the instrument — 
we mean the drawing of the fluid out of the stomach — 
is seldom needed ; it is generally sufficient to shake the 
tube in the throat, or to pull it up and down a little. This 
will for the most part produce the speedy complete eva- 
cuation of the contents of the stomach by vomiting. 

* It may be advantageously bent to a small extent, so as to give it a very 
gentle curve.
